Comment 9 for bug 127985

I nominated the bug for a SRU for gutsy.

Impact: typical impact of FTBFS of the package (end-users, developers, derivatives or security team can't build the package)

Fix: pulled updated tests from a new upstream stable series (from the 1.161 release); the diff is minimal; bug has not been fixed in the development branch (hardy not open at this point); bug has been addressed in Debian by uploading a new upstream release series (1.16x) which is not an option here

Reproducing: build the package

Potential regression: package might have regressed in unrelated ways to the testsuite failures with new versions of the GNOME libs and the new build might expose more bugs

NB: I'm aware of some important fixes in the 1.14x upstream "oldstable" series, such as memory corruption or encoding issues, which I did not make any effort to backport as they did not seem to affect the packages I looked at (libgnome2-perl and debconf) and I'm not aware of any reported bug for them.
